Today, at a time when American families are facing more risk and greater insecurity than they have in recent history, at a time when they have fewer resources and a weaker safety net to protect them against those insecurities, people of all backgrounds in America want a nation where we share life's risks and rewards with each other.

For Obama not to have been pegged as a communist when this was uttered, shows how sound asleep Americans are.

I remember Leo Terrell quit working for or was blacklisted by the NAACP for supporting Rogers-Brown.

Terrell is a good guy, but misguided too often.

A reprise of some earlier claptrap by the anointed one. As one should expect, 0bama talking out of both sides of his mouth.

The simple fact is that Sotomayor is NOT qualified for the Federal bench at ANY level, and certainly not the Supreme Court.

The pubbies have to fight this nomination aggressively.

“Yet when it comes to laws protecting corporations and private property, she has decided that those laws should be interpreted broadly.”

So Senator Obama is on the record stating the a judge should not protect private property!

He’s a civil rights attorney but being told that the NAACP does not support any republican nominee no matter how good she is was too much for him.

Some Senator should read portions of this, verbatim, during Sotomayor’s hearing.

Two words:

Cloward Piven.

He was in the thick of it then, as now.

Justice Janice Rogers-Brown has a far more compelling life story than Sonia Sotomayor- Ms. Brown is grand daughter of a sharecropper slave with a superb legal mind. her opinions both as justice on the CA Supreme Court and on the DC Court are brilliant. But 0 opposed her because of her pro-life interpretation of the Constitution and her commitment to private property. If this is what 0 has said about Judge Brown, I say to the Republican senators please grow some spine and scuttle this Sotomayor nomination.
